One Week to Retirement
Good afternoon fellow Planeteers!

Exactly one week from today I will log off my laptop, gather what is left of my belongings at the office, hand in my equipment and turn in my badge.

After almost 48 years in my selected occupation I decided that the end of March is my retirement date. I've met many good people in my line of work and made a great deal of life long friends....(some of them Chiefs fans too)

Without getting too sentimental.....I think I have run my race and done the best I could to always be at the top of my game.

Now comes the next stage of my life....and I do have plans. But it would be nice to hear from any of the rest of you who are retired as to what happened after you retired......did you take a few weeks off before just moving to something part time or volunteer work? Or did you just hit the ground running.

Any retirement wisdom is greatly appreciated.

(And no....I am not taking a trip to Belize nor will I be drinking any anti-freeze)

I officially retired after 31 years in 2006.

Post retirement was helped along by being rehired in a reseash position and I conducted field trials for 9 years and established a small business as well.

Financially we were ok, we had debt in line and my 401/IRA was solid and I had a great financial guy guiding that process

Key for us was to watch expences and plan our spending in line with income.

Do what you like and have fun. You earned it.

Congrats on your your retirement...financially we are OK and my wife is a nudge when it comes to keeping under our budget.

We will live in a manner that allows us to be comfortable but not extravagant. We are debt free....so that helps and luckily both of us worked thru the pandemic so no loss of income.

Yeah, if you don't mind the humidity, the benefit of no winter and all the sun can't be understated.... same here in Arizona.

I was in NH for a while last fall and there were so many cloudy days and it rained a **** ton... not the end of the world by any means, but being back in the Arizona sun/weather was glorious.

I lived thru enough winters that I will never miss cold weather, shoveling snow or dealing with ice. Plus I can play golf year round mostly in shorts and a golf shirt.

Just do not sit in your garage and drink beer. Some here might be watching you.

See...that is something you get used to when you are older. You go to bed earlier....wake up to pee at 2 am...then wake up at 5 AM consistently.

I know most of the Planeteers near me....most wouldn't drive out to where I live because they would have to cross the Buckman Bridge....or as we call it...the Florida NASCAR Training ground.
